SCIENTISTS not without sense of
humor. AT the closing session of the Nation
nj Association for the Advancement of Science,
pm Tuesday, Prof. Eli Hopkins addressed
mis- fellow scientists on the very unscientific
subject of "Wit Humor and Satire" and in

MAXWELL, the murderer of Preller, has
been set to work by his attorneys at copying
the record of his trial in order that the tran
script may be presented to the Supreme
Court. The young man is reported to have
repented of his sins and to have joined the
Catholic Church few weeks ago, but by the
time he has read that record and refreshed his
memory with details of the murder he will
probably not be able to find much consolation

power of the press is really shown, and il
the newspapers would combine to insist on
q proper policing of railroads to see
that the tracks were in order, they
could make railroad corporations more
sensible of the value of human life. The editors
appear TO think they have discharged their duty
when they make the regulation comments after
some shocking catastrophe. They do not ham,
mer away they do il affairs of politics. AT
press conventions it would be well for American
editors to unite on some programme embracing
subjects of a bipartisan character and make
common cause in bringing about certain needful
reforms.

THE logic of the Evening News is not i'm
pressive. Because a company which has the
greatest available amount OF gas could not
more than half supply the city before winter,
therefore it should be kept out and the people
should wait patiently until next year, or later,
when other companies may have enough to
make it worth while to begin piping

THE result of the coroner's investigation
into the Chatsworth disaster is what the pub
lie has expected for some days. The company
has succeeded in unloading it's sins upon Sec

The free-pass seems to have been an infuen-
tial element in securing this verdict.

THE Paris police are after Mr.. Wendell Stan
ton Howard, that genial young gentleman who
figured as q commissioner Of the New Orleans
exposition, and afterwards endeared himself to
the Art Associat ton of this and other cities by
kindly placing valuable pictures on exhibition in
the several towns. and even permitting the sale
of few choice works of art. What he is wanted
for is to make an accounting to the French
artists whose paintings were placed in his charge
but to whom he forgot to remit after disposing
of the pictures. Howard was young man who
moved in the highest circles in New Orleans and
Chicago, but like many other members of the
elite in the latter city he is found, according
cable special, to have changed his name and
skipped to parts unknown. This unfortunate
state of affairs suggests the awful possibility

The Old Year.

Step softly, speak gently, the old year is dying, On white bier of snow his worn form is lying, With the chill winds of winter his requiem signing Back to the bosom of time he is going, Bearing the record our sinfulness showing. Our trials. troubles, conflicts all knowing. Tears of repentance are now unavailing, Earnest entreaty or penitent wailing, The record must stand the decree is unfalling. The prayers we have spoken the tears we have Our promises broken, our promises kept, The hearts we have broken while conscience has
 slept.
 The love that has frightened some gloomy path Turned sorrows dark midnight to hopes blessed
 day
 And taught some poor wand'rer "Our Father" to
 say.
 The hopes we have bulded on life's shifting sand With unwearied toiling and eare-Iaden hand. The cry of the wrecked on Hfe's stormy strand The pain deeply hidden when heartstrings are
 broken
 And calm, smiling lips give the world a false to- The thoughts of our hearts that never were spoken The last whispered words from the lips of the dy- The heartbroken prayer of the mourner, the crying or earth teeInng millions their sorrows and sigh
 ing.
 Iris all written there the records true pages, Unread by the oldest and wisest of sages A leaf in the volume of swiTt-hying ages. An, hid in the breast of the dying old year, Oh, never again will it's pages appear Till the light of eternity falls on them clear. The years of our lives like tale that is told, Fly Swiftly, and each in it's bosom doth held This record, more precious to mortals than gold. Let us ask ourselves then, as stand by the bier And watch the last hours of the dying old year, How in that clear light will our record appear?

HUNTING IN IDA HO.
Queer Things About Gke Wild Animals
 ofthe SawGoOth Mountains.

ofthe SaWUOOth Mountains.
 From the San Francisco Examiner.
 George Riebald, pioneer of Idaho, since 1868 the owner of the Little Giant gold mine at Warren and long a skilled hunter in the Sawtooth Mountains, is in town. Mr. Rie- bald was for many years a contemporary of George Weiser, the famed trapper and huns ter after whom the busy young metropolis of Weiser City was named, and he was aseoci- ated with him at time on some of the most perilous tramps. ffWeiser was the Daniel Boone of that section,' said Riebald yes- day, "but the naming of the territory was done by Joaquin Miller. The word Idaho is pure Bannock, and signifies the gem of the mountains As to the game up there now, we've got plenty, and good game too, but not buffalo. There were uncounted thousands but short time ago, but the Northern Pacific road, and the hunting that ensued from it. drove what remained into British Columbia, where isolated bands may occasionally yet be found. There is an abundance of elk and bear and myriads of mule deer. On all the earth probably there is not another place where there are more deer. They weigh from 80 to 300 pounds each, dressed, and any hunter with any skill at all can easily get all he wants. The wild est and most exhilarating sport in Idaho is that indulged in by the Sheep-Eaters, branch of the Bannock tribe. They are known by this name because they subsist largely on the huge mountain sheep. When the sheep are heavy with young they drive them far upon the cliffs, and then with their dogs make them jump down, where they are found dead at the bottom and made away with by these fellows. Thsse Indian are are frst-class shots, too, and of course kill many of these sheep and other game that way. We've got an animal up there called the antelope goat. Did you ever hear of them. They grow very large. A bull an- faloOA e,1Af will WaiOa n1uch 3OO 4(0 pounds. They remain in the very highest mountains-that is, above the snowline-at an altitude of from TOO to 200 feet. They stay there summer and winter. They have jet black horns, five to thirteen inches long, sharp as A pencil, and depend altogether on fighting when attacked by wolves or dogs. They have terrible big hump on their rumps and sit down just like deg. have seen them sit down on 6 rock and watch. They can't run much, and they can't jump more than six or seven feet. They are l indigenous only to that country, and scien- I lists don't know anything about tbem. I tried to get one of these queer antelope goats for the Smithsonian Institution the l last time I was out, but didn't succeed. The ba1d-headed grizzly bear is the only animal the Indians won't disturb. They ain't afraid of the others. I have myself driven an ordinary she grizzly away from her cub, and she didn't attack me, being thus less dan gerous than a SOW. 4 SOW wouldn't permit 1 that But these bald headed grizzlies are l large and extremely vicious. The silver-tip grizzlies are also very cross."
